Chapter 824 Gunshot
The Bloody Hand, a killer organization hiding in the shadows of the city.
More than one-third of the headless homicides in this city are related to this organization.
And the remaining two-thirds?
This organization will also be more or less involved.
But even so, no one can catch any trace of this organization.
Neither the former Chief Patrick nor the current Chief John did it.
The members of this organization seem to be invisible, coming and going without a trace every time.
Not to mention the leader of this organization.
According to the most detailed records, there is no information on whether the other party is a man or a woman.
To put it simply, there is no information about the other party at all.
Helles was very proud of this.
Because no one would have thought that the boss of a killer organization like the Bloody Hands would be a night watchman.
Every evening, he would push a cart loaded with lamp oil and a ladder on the streets and alleys, fill the street lamps with kerosene and light the wicks.
And the next morning, he would put out the wick again.
No one who saw him at night would suspect anything.
More than half of the city knew him as the night watchman.
After all, he's been doing it for twenty years.
And tonight is his last 'night patrol'.
After tonight, he will have enough gold for his retirement.
He will find a place with beautiful scenery and spend the rest of his life extremely rich.
When I think about the beautiful life that is coming soon, the pouring rain in front of me becomes more and more lovely.
Helles is a person who likes rainy days very much,
Not only because rainy days affect people's sight and hearing, but also because rainy days can cover up the smell of blood, giving a killer like him enough time to make the scene more perfect.
Just like tonight!
No one would have imagined that the entire St. Paul's School would be attacked.
Just like no one would have thought that part of the treasures of the Morningside Church were hidden in St. Paul's School.
Even Helles, the killer leader who thought he was in charge of the city at night, got this information by accident from a member of the organization.
After a little digging, this information was confirmed.
However, some things discovered during the investigation stopped the killer from acting rashly.
It's a more tactful way to deal with St. Paul's School.
The effect is very good!
Although a considerable amount of gold will be lost, the rest is enough for the killer leader.
At least, he didn't need to fight that terrifying old man who didn't look like a normal old man at all...no, didn't look like a normal person.
When he thought of the strength of that abnormal guy, Helles, who had a high self-esteem, couldn't help but shudder.
But when he thought that the other party had already moved far away from here in order to transport some gold, Helles let out a sigh of relief.
That's right!
The other party will come back!
But when the other party comes back, he has already disappeared with the gold. At that time, no matter how powerful the other party is, it is useless.
Thinking of the brilliance of his plan, the killer couldn't help but smile.
But at this moment, the sound of explosions in the distance and the sky illuminated by fire made the killer leader's heart skip a beat, and his inexplicable anxiety made him send out an action signal in advance.
The street lamp next to the killer was lit.
The elevated wick and ample kerosene make this street lamp exceptionally bright on a rainy night.
The killer standing on the ladder looked in the direction of St. Paul's School.
He was looking forward to a perfect sneak attack.
only……
Nothing happened.
There is no change in St. Paul's School on a rainy night.
The killer stared closely at the brightly lit chapel next to the school playground, hoping to see the figures of his men, but there was no one there.
The uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense.
At the same time, a faint smell of blood that ordinary people would subconsciously ignore penetrated his nose.
Without hesitation, Helles quickly jumped off the ladder, turned around and rushed towards the pre-arranged escape route.
Helles, who has not been caught with any clues for so many years, is not only because of his concealed identity and extraordinary strength, but also because he has a cautiousness that ordinary people do not have.
No matter how good the chance of winning is, Helles will think about what to do if he fails.
A carriage had already stopped at the end of the street.
It contains enough food, water and indispensable currency.
But before Helles could get close to the carriage, the killer leader stopped with an ugly look on his face.
The closer he got to the carriage, the stronger the smell of blood became.
What this means is naturally self-evident.
"who?"
"come out!"
Helles drank in a low voice, looking like he was desperate.
But as soon as the words came out, the killer quickly retreated, not turning around and running, but keeping his whole body forward, and retreating with his toes pointing to the ground.
Despite the awkward posture, the speed is not slow.
Especially the double guns that appear in Helles' hands are even more intimidating.
Then……
A huge force appeared behind Helles.
The killer leader kept retreating, as if he had hit a speeding truck, flew straight for more than ten meters, fell in front of the carriage, and couldn't get up again.
Of course, Kieran, who was in control, did not really kick the opponent to death.
From the mouth of the Wayne tribesman, Qin Ran clearly understood that Heles in front of him knew more inside information. investigation, the Venn tribesman did not participate in it.
Even the Venn tribesman didn't know about tonight's plan until dark.
According to the account of the Wayne tribesman, the other party was only one of the peripheral members in the Blood Hand Society at the beginning. It was a coincidence that he was given the news after hearing the news from a certain direct heir of Earl Wayne. Promoted to core members of the organization.
Qin Ran was noncommittal about this.
He believed that the other party was promoted out of the norm, and he also believed that the other party got the news from a certain direct heir of Earl Wien.
None of this matters.
Even if it was a cover-up, it didn't matter to Qin Ran.
However, Kieran didn't believe that the direct heir died unexpectedly not long after Earl Wien disappeared, and as a result, let an idiot inherit the earl's position.
Therefore, he planned to ask for more information from the mouth of Helles in front of him.
Qin Ran walked up to Helles and raised his hand to pick him up.
Helles, whose spine was broken by the kick, was like a puppet without strings, helplessly held in Qinran's hands.
"Let me go!"
"I……"
boom!
The slight sound of gunfire interrupted Helles's words. Under Kieran's deliberate control, the bullet almost missed Helles and hit the carriage next to him.
Seeing the bullet marks on the carriage, Helles, who had no power to resist, screamed in panic.
"Go!"
"Take me away quickly!"
"I will tell you whatever you want to know! I will give you whatever you want!"
In the voice of supplication, Helles didn't look like a cold killer at all, he was just an ordinary night watchman.
Not a deduction, but reality.
Maybe it was just a disguise at first.
But after a long time, it became real.
Human habits are the same as human desires.
They are all so terrible.
Facing Helles's prayer, Qin Ran turned a deaf ear and looked towards the direction where the gunfire came from.
